Pressure Relief Valve & Burnt Finger
I don't wear gloves while riding so resetting the valves can be hazardous to your finger. Is there any product like an asbestos or carbon fiber cap made that can be put over the valve cap? Something that doesn't absorb and hold the heat like the metal cap does? Did a search and came up blank....

I can only assume he is talking about decompression valves in the heads. And the only fix other than the metal top ones are the Jims valves. They have a high temp plastic blue cap on the top....... if your good should be able to quickly push em before they have a chance to burn your finger. PUSH FASTER!

I'm is stupid too, but i know their compression relief valves. They aid in starting of high compression motors like the ole Yamahammer singles that'd whoop a good man. Just add another punched out high compression cylinder and you have a bad-As Harley! I remember the Yamaha's having a third mini brake like handle higher on the bars to squeeze to relieve the pressure when starting.
